Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?-Chapter 660 Confronting The Dungeon’s Final Boss!
-----
In front of us was the large gate leading to the Dungeon Boss, at long last we have arrived. Through the entire exploration of Floor 3, we never sensed any other hidden room. So it might be right past this one.
"The Gates to the Boss Room… Alright everyone, are you all ready?" I asked, my friends cheering up. We have already taken a little break and we made sure to heal all our wounds and exhaustion.
"Yeah, let's end this for real now." Said Zack.
"Let's get to it." Aquarina cheered. "I want to go back home already and rest…"
"Me too, this has been a really long journey…" Sighed Mist.
"Big sis, can I fight too?" Wondered Zephy.
"Nope, you're staying in here with Nephi. I've already loaded her entire battery with as much Mana as possible, so she'll protect you. It would be too dangerous if you enter the boss room and get trapped in there." I sighed.
"The previous bosses don't count?" Celeste wondered.
"They didn't even had boss rooms! They just kind of showed up." I sighed. "So anyways, Zephy, stay here."
"But I wanna fight the boss!" Zephy complained.
"That's not something that you can do yet, dear brother." I sighed, giving him an hug. "You've gotta first grow up more and get stronger slowly. Also our parent's spirits are around here, I can see them. So that's another extra layer of protection for you."
"Are you sure you don't want me to join?" Asked Nephi. "I can offer a lot of power…"
"It's not as if we don't appreciate you or something dummy, but you have to protect my brother." I said.
"…Very well." Nephi nodded. "Young lady, I should do my duties to the best of my capabilities then."
"Well said." I nodded. "So, everyone, let's go."
Guiding all my friends, I opened the gates to the Dungeon's Final Boss.
Creaaaak…!
The gates opened while making a rather loud sound, they were quite old.
The room was completely dark, but when we entered, several pillars around began lighting with blue flames, illuminating the entire room.
There were no Fishmen here, no guards, or any tamed monster we expected to greet us, even when we were high on guard.
The only thing waiting at the end of this enormous hall was an enormous Fishman sitting over a throne made of corals and magic crystals, and also a shiny, and powerful precious metal.
I instantly recognized it as Mithril!
However, before I could get my hands into that, we had to slay this guy.
"Welcome."
A loud, terrifying voice echoed across the entire hall, making our spines shiver.
Wait, he can talk our language?!
The Fishman King slowly stood up from his throne, glancing back at us with a dreadful glare.
His entire body was as tall as thirty meters, he was a true behemoth. He was humanoid, of course, more than the other fishmen.
Is body was extremely muscular, resembling the body of a Giant, another race of humanoid monsters. Covering his body there was an armor made of Sea Snake scales.
And on his left arm, he was holding a massive shield made of these said scales and bones, while a gigantic trident was wielded by his right hand, gathering ridiculous quantities of mana, and generating an icy aura.
His face was still that of a fish, resembling more like a ferocious shark though. His eyes glowed bright red, as I suddenly noticed a strange red tattoo on his forehead. And then I noticed the entire room's ceiling had tons of…
…Spiderwebs? Did he kept a spider pet here or something?
Well, whatever was the case, I couldn't lower my guard.
"You must be surprised I can speak now, you lot. In the past, I used to be able to talk like you, but once I transformed into this aberration, I lost my ability to speak." He said. "But now, thanks to the gifts of Lolth, I have attained the intelligence I once lost from the Curse of the Gods!"
"Curse of the Gods? Lolth?" Zack wondered. "This guy's talking nonsense…"
"No point talking with a monster." Said Aquarina.
"No, wait!" I said. "You can talk? Then we don't even need to fight, if you want, we could lead you outside!"
The Fishman suddenly stopped walking, looking down on me with his sharp red eyes.
"Huh?" He wondered. "I guess… I could do that, yeah."
He suddenly began considering it.
However, I suddenly saw what he was going to do next with my Heavenly Eyes, and promptly evaded.
FLAAAASH!
CLAAAAASSSHHHH!!!
His body moved at an incredible speed by boosting his entire body's physique using enormous quantities of Mana, and using his trident, he tried to kill me. If I hadn't evaded, I would had turned into mush in the floor.
"Hoh, amazing. So those are the powers of the Hero of Heavenly Eyes!" He celebrated.
"How do you know who we are? You're not a simple monster. You mentioned a curse. And… Lolth? Who's that?" I asked.
"Lady Lolth, the Weaver of Fate and Darkness." He said. "She has given me a second chance. And she said I will be able to free myself from the shackles of the Dungeon once I defeat all of you children and offer her your heads!"
"Sylphy, it's a lost cause. He's insane and just wants to kill us. Trust me, I know when someone's insane because I was too." Celeste said.
"Yeah, I figured it half-way through. I was just making sure I wouldn't have any regrets later." I sighed. "It's not like I would ever hesitate to kill when its truly necessary."
"Heh, wonderful then! Let us fight and kill one another! GAHAHAHAHA!" The fishman king started to laugh. "This is LIFE! It's all but an ENDLESS CYCLE OF DESTRUCTION! Now, let us dance amidst LIFE and DEATH!!!"
FLAAASH!
The Fishman King did it again, his entire body bursting with an incredible amount of Mana, moving at an insane speed and reaching up to me once more!
"[Dragon Fang]"
However, this time I wasn't going to evade.
CLAAASH!
Ding!
